Impact

The project will enable youth to become agents of change and take an active role in promoting sustainable tourism and supporting rural communities while addressing social and environmental challenges. They will learn the benefits of ecotourism and the importance of revitalising rural areas for cultural heritage, environmental sustainability, health, well-being and social entrepreneurship. The resources will be utilised by youth, youth workers and stakeholders at a local, national and EU level.
